well you can use " BABY vicks" that is very safe for new born also... when ever you are giving bath to your baby make sure you let the hot water run out for couple of minutes and this way your bathroom will have a steamy air all around and then you can place your baby for bath... this is the best way!!!!

try this also before bedtime. heat mustard oil put smashed garlic, ajwain nd fenugreek seeds(methi). heat them until they burn then cool down oil nd filter oil. give a massage to ur baby with this oil. its very effective.

when vivaan getting stuffy nose i use this oil for massage him. massage this oil on baby's whole body bt avoid face.

Make the baby sleep in an inclined position at night.
Sit in steam with the baby in the bathroom or make a stem tent over a vessel of hot water.
Apply Vicks to the underside of the foot and put socks while the baby is sleeping.This helps in cases if cough.
Apply saline drops to clear the nasal passage.
Avoid ac, bcos ac air can dry the nasal passages thus blocking the nose.
Keep a humidifier or a bucket full of cool of water in the room, it adds moisture to the air.

Follow the doctors advice and see if any medicine is required. Do check with the doctor if baby paracetamol can be given to the baby, bcos cold can give the baby body ache or a headache, just like we suffer.
